Bankrupt ex-hurling star faces jail for contempt of court

Former Wexford hurling star Paul Codd could end up being jailed for contempt of court unless he co-operates with the bankruptcy regime.

Last March, Mr Codd, an All-Ireland winner in 1996 and a former captain of Wexford, was adjudicated to be bankrupt by the High Court, following his failure to satisfy a judgment for €530,000 secured against him in 2011

The official assignee in bankruptcy, Chris Lehane, the court-appointed official whose role is to assist bankrupts in their obligations to their creditors, claims Mr Codd “is failing to engage” with him.
